Rover K series they are good engine but the few things that are wrong with them people exagerate. They are a bit boil in the bag.
Get one dont think you will regret it.

nightmare to get in and out of, and noise as anything on the motorway even when going at 80,(can't hear yourself think, nevermind anything else) but they are And stick to the road like glue. As a friend said "you have to do something seriously wrong to lose traction in the dry"

Nice one cheers
It probally is a downgrade fromthe RX in a way but they are slightly ecomonical (1.8 16V) and th einsurance is way cheaper than the RX too 
I think theres a lotus garage in Bristol so may pop down at some stage.
